Well, what about macaroni 'n' cheese pancakes? The recipe was concocted by Andrea of Misc. Kitchen and inspired by pancakes at Manhattan eatery Shopsins and, as she explains, "I'm a fan of sweet and savory. I'm a big fan of pasta. And cheese. And pancakes."

She continues, "I know it seems strange. But you must try these pancakes at least once. They are different and just plain tasty. And they are fun. We got a big kick out of preparing, eating and talking about them."

The recipe is here and you probably already have all the ingredients at home. So why not give them a try? And yes, they're served with maple syrup.

And while all the crazy concoctions that keep popping up in the food world have been hogging the spotlight (the cronut, the ramen burger, etc.), the realm of cocktails is just as crazy. If not crazier.
